My SS gave me my childhood back!

My Secret Santa is one amazing guy! He really listened to my likes and dislikes, and sent me messages from day 1. I had told him I liked old school vidja gamez, but never expected anything like this! Come and embark on this amazing journey with me!

It's truly a 1st Arbitrary Day to remember!

Two mysterious packages have arrived! As I open the larger one, my mind melts! The glory inside cannot be contained!

The first amazing surprise of many! An NES with connections and a controller! My Santa asked me what systems I used to play old games, but when I told him my consoles had been lost to the sands of time, I never expected this!

AND what's this??? An SNES TOO??? I couldn't wait to start some Super Mario World action! Who says the 90's are dead?

My roommate can't wait to get in on the action!

...but she sucks at games and is sad about it...

I can't contain my joy! For NES I received Contra, Paperboy 2, and Super Mario 3 (my FAV)! Such classics!

Perhaps the most bizarre/stellar parts of the gift were these unique soaps shaped like NES and Gameboy cartridges. There's the Legend of Zelda and Pokemon Blue and Yellow (3 of my favorite games from back in "the day"! LoZ was the first NES game I ever beat! I would play it for hours!

Not everything was related to classic gaming though. My Santa also included MANY wonderful Russian propoganda posters, something I mentioned that I like. This one is my favorite! Anyone speak Russian? I like to think he's talking shit about me in this photo.

And finally, three totally rad LoZ figures! My brain is still 13 so I instantly posed them like this. Zelda be jelly.

Thank you so much! The letter you wrote me was awesome too! This was an awesome first Arbitrary Day!
